Day of the Imprisoned Writer, observed on June 15, is a special day to think about and support writers who are in jail because of what they have written. These writers share important stories and ideas, but sometimes in some places, people don't want these stories to be heard. On this day, groups that care about helping these writers speak up for them, telling the world about them so they can be safe and free. It's a reminder that everyone should have the right to express their thoughts without fear of being punished.
